How can I lose weight in my arms and legs without building muscle ?

[Anonymous]

ok I weigh 160lbs, I used to weigh 180, I'm trying to get down to 140, I have kinda big arms and legs.

I was wondering if I start doing exercises to tone them up will it build muscle and make them stay as big as they are now ?

I'm losing like 40 lbs all together, should I wait until I lose all the weight then try to tone up or start toning up now ? even though I don't want to stay this weight

A general weight loss program will slim all parts of the body at once You should do some exercise program also; you will lose more weight in problem areas that way.

You want to build some muscle. That will increase your metabolism and overall health! Women don't build bulky muscles without steroids or a really intensive weight program, so don't worry that a moderate exercise program and workouts will make you look like a freak.

Unfortunately spot reducing fat isn't possible, the only way is to lose fat from all areas slowly through cardio and diet restriction. People who claim to spot reduce are on HGH or steroids. Def lose the weight and then tone up, but you should know that losing weight progressively gets harder and your body's metabolism will slow down as you lose more so good luck.

do cardio on empty stomach restrict processed foods sugary stuffs and take only acceptable level of protein and dnt do strength or weight training that's it
